A Baton Rouge Solo Trip: My Two-Night Stay at the Crow Plaza Hotel
As a mother, finding time for self-care and rejuvenation can be a challenging task. The daily responsibilities of parenthood often leave us yearning for a break, a moment of solitude, and a chance to reconnect with ourselves. That's why I recently embarked on a solo trip to Baton Rouge, a brief escape from the demands of motherhood, work, and daily life.
The Crow Plaza Hotel
In my previous post, I discussed the importance of maintaining a sense of self since becoming a mom. It's a topic that resonates with many mothers who understand the struggle to balance their own well-being with the needs of their families. This time, I decided to take self-care to the next level by choosing a luxurious retreat at the Crow Plaza Hotel in Baton Rouge.
Local Momcation
While a trip to New York with a fellow mom blogger earlier this year was a much-needed break, I realized that I couldn't wait until the next major getaway. Motherhood demands constant attention, and maintaining my own well-being is a top priority. So, I made the decision to enjoy a local alternative – a solo trip to the Crow Plaza Hotel for a two-night stay in Baton Rouge.
Nestled within the city limits in Baton Rouge on Constitution Drive, the Crow Plaza Hotel is Baton Rouge’s newest boutique hotel, offering opulent and modern accommodations. This time, I was determined to stay within the hotel's confines, enjoying the luxurious amenities and soaking in the relaxation.
The Tower at the Crow Plaza Hotel
The Crowm Plaza Hotel's interior design is nothing short of stunning. From the moment I entered, I was greeted by luxury at every turn. The attention to detail, from the opulent decor to the local brands featured in the minibar, impressed me. Supporting local businesses is something I truly appreciate.
Customer service at the Crow Plaza Hotel begins at the valet, where the polite staff welcomes you with a glass of champagne and ensures a smooth check-in process. A staff member even escorted me to my room and provided a room tour, highlighting the hotel's commitment to exceptional service.
The one-bedroom suite I stayed in was a sanctuary of comfort and elegance. The black and dark grey color scheme, complemented by a white marble dining table stocked with toiletries from local brand Scratch Goods, showcased the hotel's dedication to both design and supporting local businesses. The personal welcome note added a warm touch that won me over.
What made the experience even better was that my fellow mom blogger, Andrea, had a room directly across the hall. The hotel's design includes a door that can lock outside of our rooms, creating a private wing perfect for families or a girls' night out. We left our doors open, enabling us to easily move between rooms, creating a progressive slumber party that was so much fun.
Patio Grill & Lounge
Around 7 pm, we headed to the Patio Grill & Lounge, the hotel's charming lounge, bar and dinner space. A pianist played beautiful live music, creating a perfect atmosphere.
The buffet was a delightful surprise, featuring fresh char-broiled oysters that were a culinary masterpiece. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, adding a personal touch to our evening. The drinks were both beautifully crafted and delicious.
In summary, our visit to the Patio Grill & Lounge at the Crow Plaza Hotel was an unexpected delight, with beautiful music, a mouthwatering buffet, friendly staff, and exquisite cocktails. It's a must-visit for an exceptional dining experience.
Just Do It
My two-night stay at the Crow Plaza Hotel in Baton Rouge was a revelation. It served as a reminder of the importance of self-care and the need to take a break when life becomes overwhelming. Like the safety instructions on an airplane, we must secure our own oxygen masks before assisting others. Taking care of ourselves enables us to better care for our loved ones.
In conclusion, whether you're a working mother like me or simply in need of a break, consider booking a getaway to recharge and reconnect with yourself. The Crow Plaza Hotel offers a haven of luxury and relaxation, providing the perfect backdrop for a much-needed momcation.
Yours in wellness,
